The best wine value when dining out

Posted on July 31, 2014 by Mandy

Wine has so many varieties and varying degrees of value that it can be intimidating to order when you’re out to dinner. Wine expert Gerald Morgan Jr. offers a simple tip about picking a wine: By the glass, pick the wine that isn’t the cheapest wine, but the next cheapest wine. It’s always going to be your best value.

… Picking a glass of the cheapest wine probably comes from a bottle that costs the restaurant $4, but if you pick the next one up in price you’re ordering a wine that costs the restaurant at least twice as much as their cheapest bottle.
